About CI Solutions
CI Solutions provides secure credentialing solutions to K-12 institutions nationwide. With over 30 years in business, we were founded on the principle of putting customers first — a value that continues to guide everything we do.

Our Badge platform powers ID card management and campus access in a fully integrated ecosystem built for simplicity, scale, and security. Backed by a proven legacy in ID technology and a service-first approach, we help schools modernize how students, staff, and systems connect. Position Summary
CI Solutions is seeking a Product Manager to take ownership of our end-to-end connected experience — including the Badge web platform , connected reader infrastructure (CICR) , and the MyBadge mobile app , which is currently in development.

This is a pivotal and high-impact role for a strategic, execution-driven leader who wants to shape how identity and access work across K-12 campuses. You’ll guide development through launch and beyond — not just shipping features but defining the experience for students, staff, and administrators.

Your ability to connect the dots across user needs, technical realities, and market trends will set you apart. Key Responsibilities

• Build & Execute the Product Roadmap
  Maintain a clear, customer-aligned roadmap across the web platform, hardware integrations, and mobile ecosystem.
• Understand the K-12 Landscape
  Engage with customers and internal teams to uncover pain points unique to education. Use this insight to influence product decisions and shape differentiated solutions.
• Bridge Hardware and Software
  Lead initiatives that integrate secure card readers, cloud systems, and mobile devices into a connected experience.
• Ensure User-Centered Design
  Champion a cohesive experience across physical and digital touchpoints, from card issuance to mobile access.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally
  Work closely with engineering, operations, implementation, and support to deliver product releases that are operationally sound and customer-ready.

Requirements

• Organized communicator who excels at translating problems into clear, actionable requirements
• 3-5+ years of product management experience in SaaS, identity, or platform-based environments
• Experience launching and scaling mobile applications in production
• Familiarity with connected hardware or physical access systems (e.g., RFID readers, secure credentials)
• Strong ability to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
• Passion for solving meaningful problems in complex environments — particularly in education or public institutions

Bonus Points For

• Experience in the K-12 EdTech or campus security industry
• Knowledge of card issuance systems, mobile credentials, or secure element (SE) technologies

• Comfort navigating compliance, procurement, or IT security expectations in schools

Why This Role Matters
